You know those times when you just get the urge to watch a movie that you remember seeing as a kid, but then when you finally resee it, you can't remember at all what it was like?

I actually had put Blackbeard's Ghost into my queue a long time ago... and now I'm thinking, how much different is this movie from Angels in the Outfield?  It's the same type of thing, but this one, made in 1968 probably started a lot of the cliches.  Sports coach becomes friendly with a bunch of old ladies, of course led by a gorgeous and intelligent young one.  The old gals are on the verge of losing their home so Mr. Brave accidently finds a spellbook that allows him to see and hear a ghost.  So everyone begins thinking he's crazy when he talks to the ghost, and of course he hates him for it, but in the end the ghost ends up saving the day with miraculous special effects that knock the bad guys on their collective asses.  This of course allows the sports team and the old ladies to win and everyone's happy.  In the end, Mr. Brave ends up proving to young one that he's not really crazy and everyone lives happily ever after. 

I'm surprised Disney hasn't tried to remake this one.  They seem to have a knack of taking classes and killing them.  Ahhh well.  That's life.
